Glas took refuge in the embassy last December after Ecuador issued an arrest warrant against him for alleged corruption, according to media reports. His lawyer said he was innocent.
Glas served as Ecuador’s vice president from 2013 to 2017, when he was relieved of his duties because of mounting corruption charges against him, according to the reports. He was then sentenced to six years in jail in connection with corruption at the Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht.
Ecuadorian authorities are still investigating more allegations against him, according to the media reports.
Glas was released from prison in November, but Ecuadorian authorities then issued another arrest warrant, prompting Glas to seek refuge in the Mexican embassy.
